HURRAY NEWTON WEBSTER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Messrs. Murray, Webster and Hawk Have Proven Themselves Efficient Officials. The present board of Jefferson county commissioners, whoso pictures appear In above cut, have just entered into the third year of their present term and the county auditors are at work audit ing their accounts for 1901. While it is true that the commissioners have not been able to please everybody, an im possible thing for men in public posi tions to do, yet they have given satis faction to the majority of the taxpayers of Jefferson county and have proven themselves efficient commissioners. They have faithfully endeavored to conduct the affairs of the county in a business manner. The board is composed of two Repub licans, W. C. Murray and Newton Web ster, and one Democrat, Al. Hawk. This is Mr. Murray's second term, and it is the first term for the other two commissioners, who, by the way, will be candidates for second term. Mr. Webster has already announced himself for the nomination for second term and Mr. Hawk will announce when the Democratic announcements are mado. A number of Mr. Murray's friends urged him to be a candidate for third term, but he declined to do so. Claim Promptly Paid. W. J. Shaffer, Agt. of the Aetna Life In. Co., Brook ville, Pa., Dear Sir: I wish to extend to you my sincere thanks for the prompt pny raent of claim under Policy of Life In surance held by my late husband, Franklin Pierce Breneman, in the Aetna Life Insurance Company, of Hurt ford, Conn., for one thousand ($1,000) dollars on the twenty paytnont Utopian. Only $13.37, the first semi-annual pay ment had been made on this policy when It became a claim. The policy was de stroyed by fire the day after my hus band was buried, but this did not Invali date the claim, as you, the representa tive of the company, went right ahead and fixed up the necessary papers for payment of this claim. I further wish to thank you as well as the company for the prompt and cour teous manner in which the claim was adjusted. Yours very truly, Mrs. F. P. Breneman. Millstone, Pa., Deo. 26, 1001.

This year's business closes January 3l8t. That means that we begin our inventory Febru- g ary 1st. In order to reduce our stock we will offer bargains that will attract. This is strictly a price sale and will be general. We have seen, the folly of merchants 0 picking out unsaleable merchandise, and marking it down to tempting prices and attempting to make up the loss on other lines. We Bhall not try the plan of marking a few g things down as a blind, but' we will insist upon all offerings advertised or otherwise being uniformly low-priced and uniformly desirable. rjl January the month which is conceded by other merchants to be the dead or dull month has become our busiest or biggest month, and why? Read the priceB below 0 and be convinced. January of last year was our biggest month pf all the year and we have carefully planned to far surpass even that of last year. By judicious buying and 0 successful eeljing we are enabled to offer you first-class and clean merchandise. We have kept our stock up bo that your selection may be made from a complete line. We 0 have a few lines which we expect to close out. On these the cost has not been taken into consideration. For instance we have a few Ladies' Suits that we expect to Bell for O little more than the buttons and the thread alone would cost. We have a few Ladies' Jackets at the Bame price, also a few pieces of Dress Goods. TMs Sale ill lei TMrsflay, Jan. 25, ani Close Weflnesflay.

The first thing a man naturally In quires on meeting a stranger Is "What does he do?" That is the supreme test of manhood. Is he competent to make a living without preying upon society without dishonest practices or fake methods? A man should have stiff inaopendonoe and pride of character to feel that be is competent to earn a blameless livelihood in a manner that will benefit, and not Injure, mankind. Hence everybody should learn to do something useful, and to -do it well. Money and property are good things to j have, and a man la all the better for having a desire to accumulate wealth. There are two things, however, that are of more value than rlohes, charac ter and good health, and we should , sacrifioe neither for money, for life to a man of oonsoienoe is Intolerable with out solf-respeot, and life is a burden to anybody without good health.

It is remarkable how a piece of news gets twisted sometimes after it bas been published In one or two papers. The Lock Haven Exprtxt of Friday con tained an account of the ovation given the three girls that returned from the oounty jail Wednesday evening, and in that account the paper said the girls were hauled up Main street In a sleigh drawn by two score young men and that they were given a banquet In tile public hall. The Exprtsa also gave the names of the girls as Mary Howard, Eliza Wentz and Sara Johnston. A young lady ot this place who Is matrimonially Inclined and is giving the matter serious consideration with out the prospective man In view says she wants to find a husband that would be kind to her children.
